MUMBAI: The much awaited collaboration by Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea will finally make its TV debut after Billboard announced the two would be performing their recent track 'Pretty Girls' at the event.

Azalea, who has earned herself 11 nominations at the Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs), tweeted her excitement about releasing the track earlier this month. The rapper even went back on her self-imposed social media ban to tell her followers that she was going to perform the track, but did not state where and when.

In addition to Spears, a former BBMA winner, and Azalea, a number of other stars have been announced as performers at the award ceremony, including Kelly Clarkson, Ed Sheeran, Meghan Trainor and John Legend.

The show, which will be hosted by Ludacris and Chrissy Teigen, will also have performances by Hozier, Nick Jonas, Sam Smith and Fall Out Boy featuring Wiz Khalifa, reports people.com.

Meanwhile, leading the artist nominations at the BBMAs is Taylor Swift with 14 nominations in 13 categories. The 'Shake It Off' singer is followed by multi-Grammy winner Sam Smith, who has a total of 13 nominations.

The 2015 Billboard Music Awards will be aired on Vh1 on May 18 in India live from The MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas.
